This information was originally created for the XE version of RAD Studio. It also applies to RAD Studio XE2.

Embarcadero® RAD Studio XE is the most popular release in years, in large part due to DataSnap XE. The DataSnap® framework, in the Enterprise, Ultimate and Architect editions of Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio, enables you to build multi-tier applications with the server built in Delphi and C++Builder, and connect with them via a wide variety of clients and protocols. Join Embarcadero and Bob Swart for a walk through a real world DataSnap application, covering topics like security, authentication, and deployment.

Featured Webinar

Bob Swart presents: DataSnap XE in the real world

In this webinar, we'll see how to create a small but real-world DataSnap Server and client application, including security and deployment details. Security details that are demonstrated include authentication (login, who can access the server) and role-based authorization (who can execute which server methods), including authorization rules for exported TDataSetProviders.

The DataSnap Server is shown to expose both simple server methods, server methods that expose read-only data (using a TSqlServerMethod component at the client side) as well as exported TDataSetProvider with master-detail nested datasets. To make things even more interesting, the datasets are using autoincrement primary keys.
